I need help. I saw a post on here awhile ago that was talking about the meaning of characters with purple hair and dark skin in the anime, and I have been obsessively thinking about how I CANT REMEMBER WHAT IT SAID.
I remember I saved it to read later since it was really brilliant. And it’s driving me insane i can’t remember.
All I remember is it said something about how they often are more objectified and are place holders for something characters want to obtain. Something something something.

Please help me I feel like I’m going crazy rn.

My friend just bought a KY42C flip phone and it’s not working for them. I also have one and I remember it being a lot easier to set up.
We are using Mint Mobile for our network, and my friend is from Grass Valley CA
We are so lost please help.

We got two photos to send

My friend will have 3 bars after they turn on and off airplane mode, and then the bars disappear after 2 minutes.

So clearly the phone works where they live, it just keeps failing for some unknown reason.

Please help, we tried everything we could think of.

I have been wondering this since I finished GLT. I was under the impression that they were a woman based on the drawings I assumed were of them.
But Im not sure if I missed something, because I thought we just didn’t know.

I don’t think it matters what gender they are, but it does leave a gross taste in my mouth thinking about how so many people have assumed that a man must have wrote the series.
I have always referred to them neutrally, and I know it’s a small issue but I was just wondering if I was the only one put off by it.

If there was some conformation I missed please tell me.
But if there wasn’t I think it’s messed up to have the default be a man.

(Im not trying to start a fight or anything, please have kindness)
